Is there a way to alter modes?

I already have a simple Dinan flash and its working great and I dont want to replace it, but I would love to be able to set the double clutch transmission and exhaust settings that we get in sport+ mode when Im sitting in my usual sport mode. I hate driving around in sport+ mode at 3K RPMs all the time.

You could use xHP to flash the transmission. That will let you alter the shift points to your liking.

The only exhaust related setting to change in sport mode is the overrun fuel injection duration. You would need to to get rid of the Dinan flash to alter that.

There's no engine settings that change between sport and sport+.

Why not use the DCT in manual mode, that way you can keep the revs down but still enjoy the exhaust and suspension setup.
